Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)After losing her high-powered advertising job in Chicago, Caretta Rutledge grudgingly returns to her low country roots at her mother's bequest. Cara has long resented her mother, who focused her maternal efforts more on looking after the annual loggerhead turtle spawn than on protecting herself and her children from their abusive father. But when Cara learns that her mother is ill, she must lay her bitterness aside and try to make amends. Cara starts by restoring her mother's small beach house and joining the same turtle brigade she resented while growing up.
